Biography
Jose Reyes Baeza Terrazas was born in Ciudad Delicias, Chihuahua on 20 September 1961, and he worked as a lawyer and served as chair of law at the University of Chihuahua before entering politics as an Institutional Revolutionary Party politician. He was Mayor of Chihuahua from 1998 to 2001, and he was elected Governor of Chihuahua in 2004. Reyes was corrupt, as he was bribed by Juarez Cartel leader Vicente Carrillo Fuentes in exchange for allowing for the cartel to operate with impunity. In 2007, during the Sinaloa Cartel's war with Juarez, the Gulf Cartel, and Los Zetas, Reyes' car was stopped, Reyes pulled from it, and shot in the leg by Sinaloa boss El Chapo, who forced him to work for him instead. This was just the first of a series of Sinaloa attacks on politicians allied to enemy cartels.
